The American Project

Pepperdine University School of Public Policy (SPP) is proud to announce "The American
Project: On the Future of Conservatism" a two-year program to propel innovative ideas
for reimagining the future of America's conservative movement.

In spring 2017, SPP will gather America's leading conservative activists and thought-leaders
at Pepperdine's Malibu campus to assess where the conservative movement stands today
and imagine its healthy future. Following this gathering, participants will produce
essays and media pieces offering innovative insights on conservatism in an age of
rising populism and socialism.

The American Project will be hosted under the leadership of SPP Dean Pete Peterson.
"As a program founded by the likes of James Q. Wilson, Jack Kemp, and many other leading
center-right leaders and scholars, Pepperdine School of Public Policy is honored to
be chosen to be the home for this critical initiative," Dean Peterson announced. "This
is a critical time in our nation's history to be considering the impact America's
conservative movement can and should have on our politics and policy."
